A P-51 Mustang experienced a stuck landing gear during a flight, preventing its full extension for landing.
Aviation legend Bob Hoover provided crucial advice, recommending high-G maneuvers to dislodge the jammed gear.
The pilot successfully executed these maneuvers, allowing the landing gear to extend fully for a safe landing with minimal damage to the historic aircraft.
A P-51 Mustang landed safely at Mobile Downtown Airport on Sunday after one of aviation’s living legends helped the pilot through a problem with the airplane’s landing gear.
The P-51, known as The Brat III, is owned by the Cavanaugh Flight Museum and was touring the Southern United States along with the B-29 FiFi at the time of the incident.
